Thank you “GOMORGO” for the photos and instructions for unsticking my hood hinges. In the 30 years I’ve had my 90 4X4 Comanche Pioneer I’ve never come across that kind of problem. I just assumed there were springs as I never paid much attention to the hinges even when I replaced the hood years ago when the overflow tank exploded and bent the hood. I am working on it now that I saw the photo of the hinge and can remember what it looked like because I can’t get the hood up far enough to see under it. I have the Liquid Wrench Blaster and will spray it tomorrow hopefully through the cowel vent.Thanx again. Ernie O.

HOOD SPRINGS STUCK Someone untitled my query as “Hood won’t pop” that is not my problem. My cable and latch are good. The springs on the hinges are my problem, they are either broke or locked up and won’t allow the hood to hinge up. I can get my fingers under the front of the hood and pull up a few inches but the hood starts to bend back at the hinges. So, is there anyone out there that had the same problem and how did you get to the springs and hinges to fix it?

I just found your website again as I came across it many years ago but couldn’t get a rise out of anyone so I thought the Comanche club was dead. So now I see posts from 2020 so I take it you are back in business. I have a 1990 Jeep Comanche Pioneer 4X4 long bed. That I bought in 1990. It has 250,000 miles on it and is still in good running condition. I rebuilt the engine with a balanced and blueprinted block. I’d send you a photo but I don’t know how to get it on a URL format. The reason I’m writing is I can’t get the hood up without damaging it. I take it the spring or springs are broke. How do I get to them?
